Bette Yarbrough Cox was a music educator in Los Angeles for more than 30 years, the founder of the BEEM (Black Experience as Expressed through Music) Foundation for the Advancement of Music, a Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for the City of Los Angeles, and a longtime friend of former Mayor Tom Bradley. As she recalled to the Los Angeles Times in 1995, the school district first accepted the teaching of black history in the late 1960s, a seismic shift from her UCLA undergraduate days in 1938. To enhance her classroom curriculum, Cox looked for books about the black history of music in Southern California, but her search through library shelves came up mostly empty. Cox decided to do something about this lacuna and spent the next 20+ years documenting the untold story behind the music of black Los Angeles. She ultimately published her research in the book "Central Avenue--Its Rise and Fall, 1890-c. 1955: Including the Musical Renaissance of Black Los Angeles."
